This page describes the state of the Manhattan Waterfront Greenway in 2004. It was developed as an overview of the planning process at that time. Current information about this and other components of New York City's bicycle network can be found at the Department of Transportation website. See more information about the Department of City Planning's Bicycle and Greenway Planning program.

At Battery Place the permanent greenway ends and a temporary path runs through the park to the Battery Maritime, which is under construction as the Whitehall Ferry Terminal is rebuilt. The construction area includes slips for the docking ferries, the Battery Maritime plant, and the grounds surrounding the buildings, creating an entire zone of rebuilding. The Battery will eventually have a permanent path on the perimeter of the park, as shown in the accompanying graphic; this should be complete by 2008. The reconstruction (including permanent shared-use cycling and pedestrian paths) of the Battery Maritime is under the jurisdiction of EDC and will be complete by 2006.
